Jannes Labuschagne was sent off after just 23 minutes for a dangerous tackle on Jonny Wilkinson .

It was his final act in Test rugby he never played for South Africa again.

The Springboks were desperate to win with their tour going off the rails.

He claims talking to Jesus “took my heart out of rugby’s rugby” “I can honestly say I was not the hot favourite to make it,” he says.

South Africa was “up in arms” against Labuschagne after he bumped into O’Brien during Super Rugby season.

In that moment, Jesus took my heart out of rugby. I realised that if he’s so real, I want to get to know him and to help others to find him’.
